Hi,
I've taken on looking after a friends pool. It's in-ground, lined, 25000L, Ozone system + chlorine tablets (trichlor) - about 2 year old. Location, Adelaide, Australia.
Went to see a guy at the local pool shop today and he is skeptical of the ozone system and says I should just ignore it and do the more traditional method of a daily cup of powder and trickle feed with the tablets. He seems to think the chlorine levels will not be adequate, especially through a long hot Aussie summer.
The ozone system was originally purchased in the hope of using less chlorine = better on the skin and eyes etc.
As I'm taking over maintaining the pool, my question is: How do I know if the ozone+chlorine tablets are providing the right amount of chlorine?
I have the paper indicators to test, but, are these the right way to test the overall chlorine levels for this type of system?
and... Do I need to use stabilizer? What effect does it perform? How do I know if i have the right level?
Appreciated, Brett.
